DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Sheldon questions

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
